Sure wish I could accrue 360 hours of PTO.
My employer used to allow us to accrue 400 hours.
Then they knocked it back to 320.
Then it was 240.
Then they wanted to knock it all the way back to 160.
Nurses and others screamed so loudly they "compromised" at 200 hours.
Damn bean counters...

Actually, I have to say that I have a great job.
- I enjoy what I do.
- 99% of the people in this hospital are really great to work with.
- Pretty decent benefits.
- They pay me quite well for what I do. (I'm the IT guy)
- They even allow me to work the hours I like to work. (Come in early and leave early)
Wow, your in the health care industry and you don't get health care? That's shocking. The retiree health care is one of the things that kept me in that job for 34 years. Worth more than the pension when it's all said and done.

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Worked six days a week for 14 years with no vacation, 5 years with one week paid vacation, 10 years with two weeks paid vacation, 2 years with three weeks paid vacation and five paid days off, and 3 years with four weeks paid vacation and five paid days off. It was fifteen years before I took my very first vacation. No medical benefits, no pension, but five years of employer matching contributions to my 401(k) account and an employee stock purchase plan.
Now, I have 52 weeks of paid vacation and free medical benefits galore.

30+ years in the motion picture industry (like Rick). We had paid vacation, but no sick leave, no personal time off. But, because our pension and healthcare was, for all intent and purposes, totally paid by the Producers and part of our remuneration package, our benefit package was valued at 30% of our salary or hourly rate.
My health coverage was and still is without premiums or deductibles. Wife has survivor benefits; takes over my pension and health coverage for the rest of her life at no reduction, even if I predecease her.
Earning that, wasn't easy, ask Rick.

Went to town today and picked up the new (to me) Dan Wesson Guardian. Dug out some more magazines and rifled thru ammo to find some suitable 45 ACP loads.
Repaired the dishwasher.
